You recently assembled your first PC using a pre-built system, but you're facing overheating issues with the Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler. It seems the AM5 motherboard BIOS was pushing excessive voltage, potentially harming the Ryzen 7 7700X. Your experience matches what others reported—coolers sometimes deliver more power than needed, leading to high temps and performance drops. After replacing the cooler, you noticed a slight improvement under load, but still struggled with sustained temperatures during intensive tasks like video rendering. The specs you shared suggest you're aiming for stable operation at around 80°C, which aligns with some reviews claiming compatibility. Consider checking if your motherboard supports lower voltage profiles or if firmware updates could help. If you want, I can walk you through troubleshooting steps or alternative cooling options.

The 7700x is a powerful CPU. With air cooling, it can exceed 90°C under heavy load. I recommend choosing a better AIO and consider the airflow inside the case—it matters. For gaming, temperatures might stay manageable, but you could try under-voltage. There are many tips on YouTube, though using those isn't advised.
